I have today visited SWC and received a warm welcome.I viewed the Tudor Chronautic scored as 10/10 which appears to be brand new.With only honest help from Tim I happily purchased this immaculate watch and after a conversation in which Tim offered to email some additional info I went home and there was the info as promised.Thanks for a great buying experience.
